I shall be grateful for all of you. :roll:

Thank you very much . I did not see Doblo on cab direct site but i will give them a call.

Always thought the Doblo was a stupid idea for a Hackney WAV, especially the rear wheechair loading, cant imagine drivers behind you want to leave a 6 foot gap whenever they're behind you on a rank!

Hi sussex

Thank you very much . I did not see Doblo on cab direct site but i will give them a call.

They don't. You draw forward a bit to use the ramp :idea:

It doesn't. They generally take the front cab here.
Wheelchair jobs off a rank are rarer than rocking horse sh*t anyway.

BTW, how does a side loader manage when the pavement space is limited? or the pavement is on the wrong side?

Hi Chaps I am terribly confused please guide me. I wanted to buy or Lease TX1 as it is traditional and attracts tourists easily but cannot afford it. I have to have WAV so i can get HC lic from my council so Fiat Doblo is the answer *(costwise) and fowlersmotors.co.uk was the place i was going to go but reading here about Doblo and Fowlers motors have confused me a lot. Please can you all help me to direct other cheap reasonable options . I shall be grateful for all of you.

Cheers for response Don't take any notice of the price on Cab Direct's web site, the one they are advertising is a 1.3, it's not powerful enough you've got to get the 1.9 diesel version, if you want electric windows and air con you'll be looking around the £13,000 mark.

They always take the front cab here too but judging by many posters around here thats not the case everywhere. Luckily down here all the major working ranks are placed with the pavement the right side.
